Method:
- Cook the pasta as per the instructions on the packet or boil 1 cup pasta in a litre of water for 8-10 minutes till it is just done.
- Meanwhile slice the onion finely and cut the broccoli, capsicum and paneer into cubes.
- Heat butter on low flame in a heavy bottom sauce pan and add the onions, capsicum and broccoli to it. Saute well.
- Now add the flour and mix well. ( you can use maida or regular whole wheat flour for a healthier version ).
- Saute till the raw smell of the flour goes off. Add the milk and cook. Stir well so that no lumps are formed.
- Add the cooked pasta and sprinkle salt, pepper powder and oregano. Add some cream and cheese into it. Also add the paneer cubes and toss gently.

Notes:
- You can increase the amount of cheese and cream and make it more richer and creamier. I simply avoid adding more of it to reduce the calorie intake.
